Speedy deletion nomination of CarCostCanada
edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on CarCostCanada, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

editHi, thanks for message. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I deleted your article because
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, press releases, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Most of your refs were not independent third party sources. You also gave several references (3–8) that said "web" after them, but didn't provide a link, which means I don't know what they claimed (although some look like press releases or interviews). Not a reason for deletion, but please don't use bare urls in your refs.
- You are so busy selling your products you don't provide any information about the company to show why its notable. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits. You also don't say where your offices are (Canada is a big place). For all we are told, you could be two people working from a spare room
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or improperly sourced claims presented as fact include: servicing the automotive industry for decades... knowing dealer cost and available factory incentives on a particular vehicle give you the best depiction of the dealers true cost... will not only provide additional significant savings to our members, it offers more credibility and incentives... The Armada Team is very excited about this new site and our entry into this virtually untapped market... — I've seen more blatant spamming, but basically the whole article boils down to "this is what we sell"
- the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks (eg Canada), and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
- Your edits indicate that you have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for the company, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Ryguy50. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:
{{paid|user=Ryguy50 | employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
